The host/client installation consists of a central network installation on the host
computer and the workstation installations on the workstations.
The program files and the resources (e.g. shared dictionaries, project data and
translation memories) are shared on the network; the workstation computers, as
“fat clients”, assume the processing power and save any user-specific data.
Who is this This type of installation is suitable for several users who have workstation
suitable for? computers and who use a shared local network (LAN).
A server operating system on a host computer is an advantage here.
What are its G Up-to-date program files and resources are available to all users; resources are

Licence models
Standalone licence
The standalone licence is designed for working on a standalone computer. With this
licence, Transit NXT can only be operated permanently on one computer.
Server licence
With the server licence, several users can use floating licences to work with a
centrally installed instance of Transit on a local network (LAN).
The advantages of a server licence include central data storage and backup, along
with the flexible use of the software through floating licences.
Thanks to the floating licences, users can access the software from any number of
workstations. The only restriction is on the number of users who can work with
Transit NXT at the same time; this varies according to the scope of the licence.
If required, you can combine floating licences for the Transit NXT Professional and
Transit NXT Workstation product versions with each other.
